Presentation Overview

This webinar will focus on critical design and process development steps to ensure the optimization and scale-up of ADCs and bioconjugates. By starting smart, we can finish fast and maximise chances of success. It will cover the following areas:

DESIGNING NEXT-GENERATION BIOCONJUGATES

  • Selecting Target and Targeting Moiety
  • From Linker-Payload to Conjugate

PROCESS DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURING CONSIDERATIONS FOR NEXT-GENERATION CONJUGATES

  • Incorporating Next-Generation Conjugation Technologies into ADC Manufacturing – Engineered Cysteines ADCs​
  • Manufacturing Strategies for Novel Payloads Conjugates – Radioimmunoconjugates and Oligonucleotides Conjugates

Learning Objectives:
Considerations for designing next-generation bioconjugates.
Process development and manufacturing considerations for next-generation conjugates.
